It is not the government that is adding insane costs to producers! It is greedy individuals who ignore pest control measures and smuggle in insects that can wipe out entire crops.

The Asian Citrus Psyllid is systematically eliminating all Citrus in Georgia and Florida by distributing Citrus Greening disease.

When allowed to freely multiply, the Mediterranean Fruit Fly causes horrendous damage to a huge number of host plants.

The Cherry Vinegar Fly aka "Spotted Wing Drosophila" is an equally insidious pest.

I am using synthetic pesticides because of the actions of thoughtless people.
